after the usual delete or function keys i try shift-ctrl-alt-delete .
this works with some bios's alternately take some ram out. that
usually forces the bios into setup as the detected amount of ram has
changed.

Hi.
I have an Ambra Sprinta, circa 1991-1992, running MS-DOS 6.
I don't know how to access the BIOS. I've tried several key
combinations, even held down as many keys as possible during boot-up,
but nothing's worked.
When the machine is turned on, there's first a screen with "AMBRA" at
the top and three check-marks appearing down a list during a short
diagnostic, then that screen goes away and DOS text is visible during
the rest of the boot-up. Pressing any keys at all, during this whole
process, only gets the machine beeping.
Thanks in advance for help finding the correct key combinations.
